Mag and ViewSonic are the only two I touch any more on the medium price spectrum (If you want to spend big bucks, then you can do even better with NEC or Mitsubishi.).
Trutyhfully, you'll not find better for the price. They both stock a trinitron line in all sizes, and back them well.

I've got a friend who does high end 3D rendering (3D Studio Max, etc.)...like Vince, he swears by MAG and the NEC, preferring the NEC. I've not seen his new NEC's but he says picture quality is even more crisp than the MAG's.

I've seen the Viewsonic PF790 and the flat MAG (DX890F). both are really nice 19" flat monitors.

I've read on reviews as well that the PF795 (supports higher resolutions) is a better version of the PF790. might be worth looking into this as well.

netdude-- the Multisync 95 monitor has a .22 HORIZONTAL dot pitch. The diagonal dot pitch (that people almost always use to compare monitors) is only .26 on that monitor. Just be sure you know what you're using to compare monitors. One monitor may claim to be .22 dot pitch, but in fact it will not be as good as a monitor that says it has .25 dot pitch, if the first is measured horizontally and the other measured diagonally which is the normal way.

Sorry, I've tossed far too many 15" KDS's in my career (probably 20+, mostly with weak intensity and poor focus problems). Maybe they have gotten better with the larger units in the last few years, but my dislike of them is already firmly planted. Perhaps not a fair eval of their newer stuff, I doubt I'll ever give them another chance unless they rock the industry with something hot.

Like I said, I like NEC, well built. However, Mag and ViewSonic are about all I order any more, the 3 year warrantee (Hot swap for the first year!) is nice too. (yes, I've had to use the warrantee once or twice, and was well taken care of.)

Samsung makes great monitors for a great price. I personally have 2, the 700IFT and the 753DF. If you have a bit more to spend, consider the 19" flat faced Hitachi. It has a true .22 dot pitch and is the best monitor on the market.
